Descripción
I have an English school in Ilhabela, which is located on the south coast of Brazil.
I live in the same building and the atmosphere is a mixture of a school and a family house by the sea.
I've already had people from different countries and most of them came through the different programs. It has been a very rich experience in terms of cultural and language exchange as well as an important help in terms of maintenance jobs in the house.

We would like to have English native speakers to take part in activities at school and socialize with students. Art, cooking, yoga, music lessons, hiking together or even taking students to the supermarket would be fantastic!
At the moment we need some help with the maintenance of the house, including painting walls, door, windows, gates, furniture, and other jobs around the house.
We live in a central area, with all kinds of facilities around. The Island is a paradise with many waterfalls, beaches, trails to explore during the day. In the evening there are nice bars, cafés, restaurants and live music. You can also practice some yoga, capoeira, stand-up surfing, and all types of water sports.
Volunteers have free weekends to enjoy the island.
Breakfast, lunch and an evening snack will be provided.

I had an amazing time staying here in Ilhabela. Eloisa and her family are very beautiful people and make you feel welcome from the moment you arrive. I stayed for 6 weeks in the end and Eloisa was very flexible with my watery plans due to the pandemic. The food was great, you'll learn about Brazilian cuisine & culture, the surrounding beaches and… read more

Calleb quickly became part of our team and our family, and we all already miss him around.
At the school he was extremely responsible with all tasks, kind and very friendly towards the students and staff, competent, hard-working and I think he discovered his potential to be a teacher. The experience was absolutely positive and for sure he… read more

Staying an Eloisa's school was an absolutely incredible experience. It is a really unique place that combines a relaxed, seaside vibe with a school environment. This was my first workaway experience, as well as my first time in Brazil, and I could not have felt more at home. Everyone you will meet is incredibly kind and welcoming, and Eloisa is an… read more outstanding host. She works very hard to make sure you feel included and like a normal part of the school & island family. Teaching English to the students is a breeze - on the whole, they are quite enthusiastic students, and Eloisa and the other teachers will help you prepare for whatever kind of activities or classes you are interested in giving.

It's also worth mentioning that the school / house is very nice, and you will have your own room with excellent amenities (and delicious home-cooked food)! There is also a lovely cleaning lady, Dona Maria, who went above and beyond to keep everything sparkling clean and fresh (often including my dishes and laundry as well!). She is an absolute joy, and her hard work and generosity makes the school that much more inviting and comfortable.

An average day will consist of you helping with / giving a few classes (2-3 hours) in the school, eating a delicious homemade lunch with Eloisa, and perhaps eating breakfast dinner together as well. Other than that, the time is pretty much yours to take advantage of! There are many beautiful places to see on the island, and Eloisa has many friends and contacts if you want to do anything in particular. Just make sure you use insect repellent before going on any major outing, because the bugs will eat you if you don't. Fortunately, a careful application of repellent prevents any problems.

Perhaps the most valuable part of this particular Workaway experience is the highly relational environment that Ilhabela and Eloisa's school offer. You can meet and make friends easily, and you'll have no shortage of people to do things with. My biggest tip would be to take better advantage than I did of this great environment to learn/practice something new! I never felt like I lacked things to do, but there would have been plenty of time to learn Capoiera (there is an awesome instructor named Buyú if you want to!) or learn to sail or something like that if you start when you arrive.

All in all, it is an excellent experience that you should absolutely participate in if you can! Feel free to message me if you have any extra questions and I'd be happy to help. Eloisa & familia & escola, MUITO obrigado por tudo! Foi um grande prazer, e eu espero muito poder voltar pra visitar vocês em breve. :)

Ben stayed with us for a month and could contribute with English classes and different activities to put our students in touch with "real English". He did some artistic painting and mantainance chores in the housel.
More than helping us with tasks, Ben became part of our family and a dear friend.
He is a very kind person, well organized, very… read more

A home away from home.

My time with Eloisa at her English language school has been the highlight of my trip.

From arriving at her front gate and being introduced to her family until my departure I felt totally at ease and welcomed. Both Eloisa and L went beyond reason to look after me and assist me in every way.

Helping with lessons… read more

Eloisa was an amazing host for us, making us feel completely at home and comfortable in her school/home. From the moment we arrived after a long journey our experience was great, there was a traditional Brazilian meal waiting for us, perfect!

We were never over worked, made to feel uncomfortable (despite lots of rain sometimes - we got… read more
